Chapter 757 - 483: Griffin Returns, the Mighty Wind Ridge·Roar Blood
Moreover, although their size is not as large as the Griffin Beast, the Captain Level Scorpion-tailed Tiger is substantial enough for riding, which is greatly beneficial for forming a special Aerial Cavalry belonging to one’s own territory.
Since the Scorpion-tailed Tiger is not as renowned as the Griffin, its flying speed and endurance are also inferior to commonly seen aerial riding beasts like the Griffin, Dragon Eagle, Horned Eagle, and Pegasus, not to mention large riding beasts such as the Two-legged Flying Dragon, Black Obsidian Statue, and Dragon Owl.
Therefore, this creature is a non-mainstream aerial raptor, giving Zong Shen the capital to DIY an aerial cavalry.
"From now on, you’ll be called Flying Tiger."
"Steel Spike·Claw sounds too unpleasant."
Zong Shen casually gave it a new name, taking out four or five small bottles of Moon God Spring, pouring two to three bottles straight into its wide-open mouth, and applying the rest on the wounds on its head.
The Scorpion-tailed Tiger Leader, renamed Flying Tiger, let out a comfortable purr.
After treating the wounds, the other Scorpion-tailed Tigers also regrouped.
The Griffins that had stayed to guard the nest had lost six more after a fierce battle.
These were Rare Level and Captain Level Griffins, also the main target of his trip.
This made Zong Shen somewhat regretful, having to count them as battle losses.
After the retreat of the Scorpion-tailed Tigers, those Griffins also staggered and landed at the edge of the nest.
The poisonous Armor Spikes made them very uncomfortable.
Suddenly, the body of the Flying Tiger beneath Zong Shen trembled, and sitting behind its neck, he could clearly feel its short fur standing on end.
"Roar..."
At the same time, the Flying Tiger flapped its wings, turned around, and roared at the southern sky.
All the Scorpion-tailed Tigers roared as well, entering a state of alert as if facing a great enemy.
As fierce birds and beasts, these creatures had much better vision than Zong Shen and his team.
Even the Rangers with Eagle Eye talent had to admit inferiority in this aspect.
Feeling puzzled, Zong Shen flipped his hand to take out an enlarged version of the [Single-Person Telescope (Purple)].
With the aid of this device enhancing his sight range, Zong Shen finally understood what had put the Scorpion-tailed Tigers on high alert.
In the view of the telescope, an Overlord-level Griffin was already leading a Hunting Team back.
Dozens of Griffins of various tiers were arranged in two Λ-shaped formations.
Each Griffin had one or two buffalo-sized prey clutched in its sharp claws.
Judging by the appetite of Griffins, this prey should last the entire Griffin tribe for three or four days.
Moreover, Griffins have a habit of storing food; their robust bodies are capable of eating carrion and they typically reserve about ten days’ worth of food in the nest.
Thus, the perimeter of the Griffin’s Nest was already piled with white bones, and a large amount of bones had accumulated at the cliff side of the nest entrance, forming a bone slope over a hundred meters high.
The bones at the bottom of the slope seemed to be quite old, covered in moss, with some sparse plants even growing at the lowest part.
"So, the real owners are back."
Zong Shen muttered to himself. Originally, if it hadn’t been for his intervention.
The Flying Tiger would have already taken the entire Griffin’s Nest with the Scorpion-tailed Tigers.
The Griffins that had stayed behind could not possibly stop such a large number of Scorpion-tailed Tigers.
Those juvenile Griffins and Griffin Eggs would have been doomed to become food.
Now, all plans were thoroughly disrupted.
Zong Shen patted Flying Tiger’s neck, signaling it to land.
At the same time, he had all the warriors mount the Scorpion-tailed Tigers.
Even Luna rode the Sentinel Black Panther and leaped onto the broad back of the Flying Tiger.
"Everyone move away from here, do not return until you receive my notification."
"Griffin Beasts and Scorpion-tailed Tigers are mortal enemies; do not let them come into contact before I tame the Overlord-level Dragon Vein Griffin."
Zong Shen said in a deep voice. The Griffins’ speed was incredibly fast, even exceeding that of the Scorpion-tailed Tigers.
In just a few minutes, they had flown close.
Indeed, with their eyesight, they had already spotted the presence of the Scorpion-tailed Tigers.
"But, sir, you..."
"This is a Griffin’s Nest..."
Luna and Doris couldn’t help but speak.
But Zong Shen waved his hand and urged.
"Don’t waste time, I have my ways."
"You all go quickly, I’ll hold them off and try to tame them."
"If they happen to meet, it’ll be a big mess."
Hearing this, Doris and Luna no longer hesitated, and following the lead of the Flying Tiger, the Scorpion-tailed Tigers flew away from the Griffin’s Nest, heading deep into the northern forest.
Only Zong Shen remained standing at the edge of the nest.
He could still activate a lv1 Floating Technique once, along with four Group Levitation Technique Runes, in a short time.
Completing a round of aerial combat would not be a problem.
Standing at the edge of the nest, wearing Finger Tigers, he stared at Evil’s Filth, ready to respond.
A few minutes later, a large swarm of Griffins finally arrived near the nest.
They emitted frenzied cries, sharp and piercing, making his eardrums buzz.
The leading Griffin was particularly large, with its head covered in white plumes and a large yellowish-brown beak capable of swallowing cattle and sheep in one gulp.
On either side of its head were some curved black horns and protruding bone plates and membranes.
Beneath its neck were patches of yellow scales, the size of half a human body, resembling feathered scales.
Its forelimbs resembled feathered dragon claws, while its hind limbs were like lion’s paws.
Additionally, it had a whip-like tail four meters long, nearly a quarter of its total length.
